We all see the Indian feather headdress as a stylish
piece of fashion or art. However, originally, this headdress meant more than
that. The feather headdress symbolized honor, courage and strength among
certain Native American tribes.
Not every person can wear a feather headdress or a war
bonnet. Some women can wear feathered crown-like pieces but not these statement
headdresses. These are only worn by the men in the tribe who have assumed
prominent positions through various acts of bravery. Each feather represents
these acts and when enough feathers have been collected, the men close to that
warrior will create a feather headdress for him. Thus, those who own this
feather headdress were treated with respect and honor in their tribe.
Today, anybody can wear a feather headdress. You can
order these exquisite pieces online. Not all headdresses are made well so it is
important that buyers choose where to buy these headdresses carefully.
